A twist on a traditional appetizer.
While I certainly won't turn down a good bacon wrapped date, I prefer my bacon crunchy and cheese on everything so I've come up with a simple 30 min recipe that marries those three ingredients in the yummiest way!
Ingredients
16 Dates
4 oz Goat Cheese
4 Pieces of Cooked Bacon
Salt + Pepper
Optional - herbs | balsamic glaze
Directions
Chop 4 pieces of cooked bacon
Soften the goat cheese -- either by letting sit out for 30 min or pop in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium
Add chopped bacon to the softened goat cheese
Hit with salt + pepper and mix
Chop off the top of the dates and cut them down one side
Fill the filleted date with your bacon cheese mix and roll them back up
Place in the oven on 275 for 20 minutes and let cool before enjoying!
Prep time - 10 min
Cook time - 20 min
Quick Takeaways
Make bacon for breakfast and just set four pieces aside for this recipe.
You can get herb coated goat cheese or add some greens from your garden for more flavor and even drizzle a little balsamic glaze to take it to the next level!
To make them more finger friendly, skewer with a toothpick and ENJOY!
